  1. Joe Lovell · Shared with Public Kurt E WilsonCalifornia History · 23DEC1941 [WWII] SS Montebello, an 8272-ton, American-flagged, oil tanker, having departed Port San Luis, California, and bound to Vancouver, British Columbia, is torpedoed by the Imperial Japanese submarine, I-21, and sinks off the coast of Cambria, California. It is carrying three million gallons of crude oil that may still be in its holds. Later that same day, the I-21 shells and damages the 6,418-ton American tanker SS Idaho near the same location. http://www.militarymuseum.org/Montebello.html
  2. Hillebrand Rifles · The Stalingrad Madona is a 3FT by 4FT charcoal drawing showing the Madona and Child bundled up against the cold. It was created by German Doctor Kurt Rueber while serving in the encircled city of Stalingrad in December of 1942. It says Light Love Life Christmas in the cauldron fortress Stalingrad. On Christmas eve of that year the Doctor took it around to the men of his unit so they could see it and have just a moment of peace in the hellscape around them. It was flown out of the city on the last plane out by his Battalion commander. Today it hangs in the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in Berlin.
  3. Ironically, that is what we need.
  4. There are 4 Safeway stores in Santa Rosa. That describes the one closest to me. Two other I've rarely encountered that. The 4th is a pain in the behind to get to so I haven't been into it.
  5. Now this one is more interesting. It involves a more subtle observation and experimentation. I'm not suggesting that our ancestors were stupid, just that in my simple mind, without a rudimentary knowledge of the chemistry involved in making cheese it seems a daunting task. https://phys.org/news/2023-03-neolithic-ceramics-reveal-dairy-multiple.html A new study has found evidence of cheesemaking, using milk from multiple animals, in Late Neolithic Poland. The research suggests that early farmers reduced the lactose content in milk by making it into cheese or other dairy products like yogurt, and used dairy products from a number of different animals, such as cows, sheep or goats. The study is published in the Royal Society Open Science. Lactose intolerance was a common condition in almost everyone in Europe during the Neolithic Period and until the Late Bronze Age when a genetic mutation became widespread, enabling adults to produce lactase, the enzyme which breaks down lactose in the body. Researchers looked at the practice of dairy processing in the Late Neolithic, identifying high curd-content residues in pottery indicating cheesemaking, and revealing that multiple dairy species were utilized.
  6. You went to get a phone repaired, go in and explain just what you posted in the OP and ask for suggestions. Two different things. I've found that people who work on and with things tend to know more than people who just try to sell them.
  7. Gee! You mean our ancestors could observe things and draw conclusions from what they observed? https://phys.org/news/2023-12-early-neolithic-high-mountain-settlers.html An archaeological find in the Huescan Pyrenees allowed researchers to identify for the first time livestock management strategies and feeding practices that demonstrate how the first high mountain societies at the start of the Neolithic period were already carrying out complex livestock and farming activities, instead of being limited to the transhumance of sheep and goats. +++++++++++++++++++ Some of the articles linked at the bottom are interesting.
  8. I don't have any recent experience with flip phones, so can't directly suggest any. But your best bet might be to go to a repair shop, talk with a tech, tell him exactly what you want and ask for suggestions. Or maybe try a T-Mobile store.
  9. The George C. Scott version of A Christmas Carol, followed by Charlie Brown Christmas.
  10. Both ways make sense. If you are looking at a calendar the American numbering makes sense because you check the month first to make sure it's the correct month, then you look for the day. In talking the other way makes sense, "The the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month."
  11. Watch this reel https://www.facebook.com/reel/890890729029221?mibextid=9drbnH&s=yWDuG2&fs=e
  12. Just pulling an Alpo. And you should brush up on Scripture, especially First Corinthians.
  13. FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY - The Department of the Army issued orders today to BG S. Claus, recalling him to active duty, with a report date of 24 Dec 23. A reservist, with 1,742 years of service, this airborne Soldier specializes in vertical delivery of high-value items. He is airborne and air assault qualified. He is also a 46R, Public Affairs Broadcast Specialist. Also recalled, were LTC Dasher, 1SG Dancer, MSG Prancer, MAJ Vixen, MAJ Comet, CPT Cupid, SGT Donner, and CPO Blitzen, an Individual Augmentee from the Naval Reserve, assigned to the Army. 2LT Rudolph is also authorized to report for duty; however, he must first successfully complete Land Nav training, which he has failed four times. Although the above troops are on orders for only 24 hours, it is anticipated that they will submit a travel claim for 24,901 miles at .56/mile, using a POV. Suitable Government transportation is not available. As a special operations unit, each member is granted a high level of uniform flexibility, as well as relaxed grooming standards. Per diem has been modified to included large quantities of hot cocoa and cookies. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Blessed Saturnalia, and a Jovial Jüle P.S. - Let's ALL remember the men and women of our Armed Forces, as they serve in far away lands during this Holiday Season.
  14. Maybe it runs parallel to the trail.
